re: #17 andres

Then he should tell it as it is: he didn’t believe in the stimulus, but some of his constituents requested them, and he owes himself to this district and state. No need to say, “I didn’t do it”.

There’s still no real difference. The question isn’t whether he asked for stimulus funds for his own personal use. All requests or for some business or government program or project. So even if he asked on behalf of someone else, he’s still asking for stimulus funds for his district.
